Cape Cod restaurants: See what's new since last year on the Cape and Islands
With Memorial Day weekend upon us, it is time to welcome visitors back to Cape Cod and the Islands with news of new restaurants that have opened in the last year.
In food news about new accolades for restaurants you may already know and love, USA Today named The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort in Dennis Port as one of the best restaurants in the country, while Sesuit Harbor Cafe in Dennis came in first when Cape Cod Times readers voted in a March Madness-inspired bracket. The Cape Cod Times also named 10 other restaurants we wish had made the USA Today list.
Here is a brief introduction of new restaurants on Cape Cod since last summer.
If you are a noodle fan, you are in luck: Tiger Ramen opened in Falmouth, Namazu Ramen is now in Chatham and Ukiyo Cape Cod took over the Brewster space formerly occupied by Fare & Just Kitchen. (Former owner Peter Duff is now cooking his vegan dishes at the Family Table Collaborative in Yarmouth.)
Codo Mexican Kitchen opened on Main Street in Chatham.
'It's kind of a play on words cause when you meet someone from Chatham and ask where on the Cape they're from, they bend up their arm and point to their elbow. Codo means elbow in Spanish,' said Michael Martir, chief operating officer of Coastal Cuisine, the hospitality group that owns the new Codo Mexican Kitchen, as well as Pate's and Chatham Cut in Chatham, Chapin's Bayside on Taunton Avenue in Dennis, The Doghouse and One-Stop Market in Dennis Port.
After 39 years as Kate's Seafood, the popular fish stand run by John and Kathy Ohman at 284 Paines Creek Road in Brewster has new owners and a new name: The Cape House is now owned and run by Robert and Izabelle Crisanti, who say they are keeping the fried fish and scooped ice cream menu for now.
J. Bar, a healthy seasonal stop in Harwich Port for the past decade, opened its doors April 4 to a second location in the Shops at 400 Main in Chatham.
The Wharf Falmouth, formerly Soprano's Casino by the Sea, has the same owners but a new name and new menu crafted by Chef Gavin Tyson who is focusing on 'French-based by the sea Marseille-styled dishes,' he said on Facebook. The restaurant at 286 Grand Ave. in Falmouth Heights offers spectacular water views.
The Daily Brew purchased Silver Lounge in North Falmouth and held a yard sale of memorabilia from the 87-year-old restaurant – although word is the caboose was not for sale. The popular coffee house and cafe closed its doors in Cataumet on May 11. No word yet on when the new location will open.
Cymbals Cafe @ The Faraway Nantucket Hotel is open, with house-made doughnuts and Partners Coffee from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesdays through Sundays. You don't have to be a hotel guest to enjoy coffee and doughnuts in the courtyard.
Uva, the self-service wine bar that opened in downtown Plymouth in 2019, opened a second location in Mashpee Commons this past January. Just this month, they added a boutique-style shop next door so people can take home wines they enjoyed at the tasting bar.
In Dennis, Erica and Adam Dunn, owners of Pheasant Restaurant and Dunn & Sons Wine, are opening Baleine Wine Bar Cape Cod (from the French word for whale) in the space occupied for decades by Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, which permanently closed.
Also, theater fans can style the best afternoon or evening out with the help of Cape Cod Times' Dinner & a Show, a feature in which we introduce a local theater production and recommend two nearby restaurants to try.

Dual-Oaks Winner Minnie Hauk Leads Yorkshire Oaks Field
Dual-Oaks Winner Minnie Hauk Leads Yorkshire Oaks Field originally appeared on Paulick Report. Dual Classic-winning heroine Minnie Hauk has been declared to take on Yorkshire-based Estrange in the Aug. 21 Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks over 1 1/4 miles for 3-year-olds and over fillies at York Racecourse. An automatic berth into the $2 million Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf is on the line through the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: Win and You're Breeders' Cup Challenge Series is an international series of 93 stakes races in 15 countries whose winners receive automatic starting positions and fees paid into a corresponding race at the Breeders' Cup World Championships, scheduled to be held Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif. Trained by Aidan O'Brien for Derrick Smith, Mrs. John Magnier, and Michael B. Tabor, Minnie Hauk comes off a 1 1/4-length victory in the Irish Oaks (G1) in July at The Curragh – completing the English-Irish Classic double, having won the Epsom Oaks (G1) the month daughter of Frankel showed her true class when sustaining a duel in the closing stages of the Epsom Oaks to eventually beat stablemate Whirl by a neck. This form has been heavily boosted with Whirl going on to win the Pretty Polly Stakes (G1) at The Curragh before winning the Qatar Nassau Stakes (G1) at Goodwood – claiming an automatic berth into the Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.'Everything has gone well, we think the track will suit her,' O'Brien said of Minnie Hauk. The odds-on favorite, Minnie Hauk, will take on Cheveley Park Stud's Estrange, from the same ownership that enjoyed success in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in 2023 with Inspiral. This will be the Yorkshire raider's first G1 contest, stepping up in class after winning both the Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes (G3) and the Lancashire Oaks (G2) at Haydock in impressive fashion earlier this trainer David O'Meara has concerns for the ground and said: 'Good to firm will be no good for her. I'd be almost certain she wouldn't run on quick ground.'With the going currently good to firm at York, the team will be hoping for some rain ahead of Thursday to suit their contender. Trainer Ed Walker has declared TBT Racing's Qilin Queen after an impressive win in the Cygames Prix de Malleret (G2) at ParisLongchamp in July, having finished eighth behind Minnie Hauk in the Epsom Oaks in June. Kieran Shoemark has been booked for the ride after success in France, and with a small field, is keen on her said: 'She needs top of the ground which she looks like getting at York, and it's a good opportunity for her to get Group 1 Black Type, I suppose with Minnie Hauk, who is odds-on favorite. Fair play to Ed and the owners for taking the chance.'Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith also own Garden of Eden, who completes the field of four. The 3-year-old daughter of Saxon Warrior was last seen finishing ninth in the German Oaks (G1) earlier this month, having won the Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot in June on good to firm ground. As part of the benefits of the Challenge Series, Breeders' Cup will pay the entry fees for the winner of the Yorkshire Oaks Stakes to start in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, which will be run at 1 3/8 miles. Breeders' Cup will also provide a travel allowance for all starters based outside of North America to compete in the World Championships. The Challenge winner must be nominated to the Breeders' Cup program by the pre-entry deadline of Oct. 20 in order to receive the rewards.

Michelin-star chef created a burger for cats — but people are loving it, too: ‘Absolutely delicious'
Who would've ever thought that cat food is actually tasty? A Michelin-starred chef has created a burger made out of the stuff you would usually only serve to your kitty cat — and apparently, it's good. Alice Ostan is a renowned chef and animal lover who worked with London-based cat food brand KatKin to create a cat food burger — yes, you read that correctly. Advertisement The unexpected concoction might have you scratching your head, but based on how it's made, it does sound appetizing. Ostan took cat food mix — which consists of meats usually served to cats — shaped it into a patty form and then coated it in panko breadcrumbs before throwing on a cat food topper. From there, the chef smothered the burger in creamy ricotta, parmesan cheese, a lemon spread and KatKin's smoky bacon jam, according to What's the Jam. Advertisement 3 No one could ever suspect that this burger has cat food in it. Jam Press To look like the real carnivore deal, the chef served the kitty cat burger on a ciabatta bun with lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber and a drizzle of hot honey. Some lucky folks got a chance to try this cat-inspired patty — and they couldn't stop raving about it. Many said if they blind-taste tested it, they would've never 'guess[ed] this burger was made from cat food.' Advertisement 3 The brand prides itself on making cat food using real meat. Jam Press 'It tastes just like the meat I buy for myself,' raved another fan. 'Absolutely delicious,' said someone else. It's unknown at this time if this cat burger will ever make it onto a restaurant menu for the masses; however, there are several restaurants around Manhattan where customers can snag a delicious off-menu meat burger. Advertisement An upscale West Chelsea restaurant and members' club, the Crane Club, offers 12 burgers each night that are only served for half an hour from 5:30 to 6 p.m. — no substitutions allowed. 3 Hungry customers who got a chance to try this burger raved about it. Jam Press Caviar Russe is a fancy Midtown seafood restaurant that also happens to serve a tasty burger. 'My mom expressed she was really craving a burger to my dad, and not even to the server directly,' Caroline Maggs, 27, said. 'The captain, and now good friend, John, must have overheard us because about 25 minutes later, there was a small off-menu burger on a plate in front of her. She said it was one of the tastiest things she has ever devoured.' Society Cafe, a restaurant inside the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village, is another spot with exclusive burgers. The joint only makes four to six standout burgers each night. 'It's truly a labor of love,' Executive Chef Nicholas McCann said. 'It's not something we can produce in larger numbers without compromising the quality.'
